Fazantlaan 21

On the stately Fazantlaan, in the heart of the charming Villapark, stands this characterful detached 1920s residence. The façade breathes history, yet behind the door unfolds a home bursting with creativity and space. It will come as no surprise that an architect lives here. The play of light, space, and materials is felt in every room. No corner is accidental — every detail is thoughtfully designed.

The original 1921 house has been enriched with a contemporary, spacious interior. It’s a home where you can enjoy every moment of the day, in every activity the house invites.

Ground Floor – A Warm Welcome

The front garden, with its brick path and lush greenery, leads to the distinctive red front door. Upon entering, the high ceilings and authentic atmosphere immediately stand out. The wooden floors in the hall and kitchen emphasize the warm character of the entrance and the connection to the living spaces.

The architecture guides the movement through the home. What was once a traditional hallway with rooms on either side has been transformed into a continuous flow. By repositioning the staircase and restroom, the kitchen and living room are now seamlessly connected, with the hallway serving as a natural transition. This allows for a circular movement through the house — a sense of freedom and dynamism that continues upstairs.

The living room is bright, generous, and full of atmosphere. Large windows bring the changing seasons inside. New openings and a spacious rear extension create abundant light and flow. Here, 1920s charm blends effortlessly with contemporary refinement. Original details like high ceilings add character, while the interior remains light and modern. The efficient Harrie Leenders wood stove forms a stylish and cozy centerpiece.

The dining area connects the spaces — open, inviting, and perfect for long dinners. From here, you enter the modern kitchen with clean lines and high-quality built-in appliances. The kitchen, by Modest, is of outstanding quality. Natural light, the wooden flooring, and calm tones make this an inviting place to cook and gather.

Adjoining the kitchen is a practical intermediate space connecting the living areas. The smart layout links all rooms yet allows each to retain its own ambiance.

Privacy is carefully considered. Sliding doors and a curved solid wall in the rear extension provide a sense of enclosure within an otherwise transparent façade. A round glass skylight above floods the space with daylight while maintaining excellent insulation.

High-quality materials support the design principles — the rear façade is steel-framed, with slim profiles for maximum transparency and elegance.

The staircase to the first floor is a true eye-catcher, crafted entirely from solid oak. The combination of wood and glass creates an open, airy look, while the original stained-glass windows add classic charm. The result is a refined blend of modern comfort and timeless elegance.

First Floor – Peace and Comfort

The first floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms, each filled with light and views of the greenery. Once again, the architecture promotes flow: the repositioned staircase and walls create a smooth, natural circulation between rooms.

The bathroom exudes luxury and tranquility. A freestanding bathtub takes center stage — a place to unwind at the end of the day. The spacious walk-in shower with a glass partition and rain shower adds a modern touch, while the sleek vanity and mirror complete the design.

A special detail: the tilework combines large ceramic panels with elegant Japanese INAX tiles — a subtle nod to craftsmanship and design. The minimalist lines, soft hues, and large-format tiles create a serene, refined aesthetic. Abundant daylight from large windows enhances the bathroom’s fresh, inviting atmosphere.

A separate toilet on this floor is executed in the same sophisticated style.

Second Floor – The Creative Heart

The second floor forms the creative core of the home. Upon arrival, you’re greeted by the impressive roof structure with exposed wooden beams that lend rhythm and character to the space.

This level offers multiple possibilities — bedrooms, an atelier, music room, or workspace. There’s room for a piano, a lounge area, and a desk without losing the sense of openness. A second bathroom, complete with walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, completes the floor. The use of hexagon tiles and refined finishes aligns perfectly with the home’s overall style.

Outside – Green and Secluded

The garden surrounding the home complements its style beautifully. At the front, a straight path framed by greenery leads to the iconic red front door.

The garden is designed in harmony with the unique proportions of the plot. ‘Garden rooms’ create varying perspectives and a pleasant balance between depth and width. Lush plantings ensure year-round color and life.

The garden features an irrigation system, rainwater storage, and integrated lighting and power. A side gate leads to the spacious shed and the tranquil rear garden, where privacy and calm are key.
